Evelyn

Evelyn is a precious little girl from China that is 1 and a half years old. Evelyn has cerebral palsy but she seems to be progressing well. Evelyn’s file was prepared when she was less than 1 year old, so at the time she was not year speaking or sitting up by herself, which is to be expected. However Evelyn could push herself up when she was on her stomach.  She was smiling and would interact with people when they would talk and play with her.

Evelyn had some videos uploaded in February 2016 showing how she was progressing at that time. We are currently working on getting even more updated information on Evelyn.

You can contact the China Home Finding Team at Great Wall if you would like to learn more about adopting Evelyn. We hope we are able to find Evelyn her Forever Family soon!

Connor

Connor is a sweet little boy from China that recently turned 3 years old. Connor was born with deformities of both of his arms and legs, but he seems like a resilient little boy that has found ways of getting around even with his limb deformities. Connor is described as being strong willed and optimistic and never considers himself different from children without disabilities. He moves himself around the room by scooting on his bottom or rolling across the floor.  Connor does not let his special need get him down and he maintains a positive attitude and problem solves ways to live his life despite his limb disabilities.

Connor enjoys playing with other children and he enjoys kicking balls with his friends and caretakers. Connor especially enjoys playing with an older boy in his orphanage that has similar limb disabilities. Connor likes to greet his caretakers when they come into the room and say goodbye to them when they leave. He enjoys when you lift him up and cuddle him.

She has healed well from her surgery and she is receiving rehabilitation services to help her with her gross motor skills. Naomi’s file was prepared when she was only 10 months old, so this information is as of that time. At that time she was still recovering from her surgery and she could not yet sit up on her own. However she was able to push herself up when she was lying on her stomach and could reach and grasp nearby toys and play with them. She could visually follow moving objects across the room with her eyes. She loved being teased by her caregivers and she will giggle a lot.

We are working hard to get more updated information on how Naomi is doing currently. You can contact the China Home Finding Team at Great Wall if you would like to learn more about adopting Naomi. We hope we are able to find Naomi her Forever Family soon!

Kiona

Kiona is a sweet little girl from China that just recently turned 3 years old. Kiona has congenital retinal degeneration which means that she is blind. Due to being blind Kiona will naturally have some developmental delays, but most likely many of these delays can be overcome once she gets the one-on-on love and attention of a Forever Family.

Kiona has good sense of hearing and she can locate where people and objects are based on the direction of their sounds. She is described by her caretakers as being very lovely and smiley. She enjoys when people play with her and her favorite toys are dolls. Her favorite snacks are biscuits and small steamed bread. She is very close with her caretakers.

Kiona can’t walk since she cannot see, so it will take her longer to learn this skill. However she is receiving special training on learning to walk due to her blindness. Kiona can sit up alone and she can crawl on her own. She can eat and drink by herself. She can babble and is learning words. She does rub her eyes fairly often due to her sight loss.
